The Advanced Multimedia Extension for Activ E-Book Compiler is an
optional Add-On product that allows you to easily incorporate multimedia
elements into your own E-Books.

The file formats supported are the standard Windows file formats,
that you can create using your favorite sound, MIDI, or video,
editing or recording program.

Advanced Multimedia supports all of the following:

Wave Audio sampled sound files.

MIDI music files.

Video Files

CD Audio.

Control over Microsoft MCI-compatible multimedia devices.

NOTE: We do not supply the compression/decompression software for
compressed multimedia file formats. You and your users
will need to obtain the MCI-compatible "codecs"
for the formats you choose from another source.
(Microsoft Windows normally has some Codecs installed as standard).
It is your responsibility to check the License agreement for any such codec
software for terms of use, etc.

How It Works

Two of the best (and most unique)
features of
Activ E-Book Compiler,
are Activ Script and Activ Variables.
These allow you to incorporate links in your E-Books
that activate E-Book functions.

For example, there is an Activ Script command called
SEARCH.
So HTML code like this:

<A HREF="##SEARCH()">Click here to search</A>

Will display a hyperlink, that when clicked, will activate the E-Book's
search function.

The Advanced Multimedia Extension adds a variety of additional Activ
Script commands, and Activ Variables, that allow you to take control
of multimedia play back.

For example, there is a new command for playing back videos fullscreen,
called
AMM.VIDEOFULLSCREEN.
So HTML code like this:

<A HREF="##AMM.VIDEOFULLSCREEN('{ebook}\film.avi')">Click here to play video</A>

Will display a hyperlink, that when clicked, will play back a video
called film.avi.

What Commands do I get?

When you get your copy of the
Advanced Multimedia Extension, you will get full documentation (in the
form of an E-Book of course!) explaining all the new commands, how to
access files that are within your E-Book, as well as external files,
and more.

And You Also GetBONUS #1: Screen Movie Recorder

Screen Movie Recorder is a utility which allows you to make AVI video
files of screen activities1. This is great for creating tutorials on
how to use software or web sites, interactive demos, or training
materials.

Record with "auto pan" - the video will follow mouse
cursor movements around the screen.

Create time-lapse movies of long-running computer processes

1Note:

Screen Movie Recorder may not be able to record some games,
DVD-playback and other software which uses hardware acceleration,
and/or requires full control of the screen (as opposed to running in
a window).

We can not guarantee that Screen Movie Recorder will work
with all programs. Nor
can we guarantee that it will work with future versions/updates of Windows.

You should only record screen contents (for example
displaying websites and programs)
for which you are the copyright holder,
or have permission from the copyright holder to record,
or are otherwise legally permitted to record.
